Actually I am sort of happy about this. At least it keeps him in the studio and off the Gameday set. Now if they can just find a place to put little singer boy, I'll be happier.

I'd say refuted, he's not a Buckeye.
The bright side to this is that Herbie will be able to be a Buckeye now and The Game will get a lot more attention, even if it is courtesy of ESPiN.

Changed the thread title to "REFUTED".
"Buckeye" means, at least on this site, a member (former, current, or future) of an Ohio State team. Traitor Howard in no way meets that criteria.

Trev: Career Over

Alberts looks beyond ESPN

<table align="left" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tbody><tr> <td align="center">
</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> There’s at least one thing Trev Alberts won’t miss about being an ESPN college football analyst.
“I’d be walking through an airport, and I might hear a fan of Oklahoma — or whoever — shout, ‘You’re wrong about the Sooners!’ ” Alberts said. “I look forward to a less public existence.”
The 35-year-old former Nebraska football star was fired by ESPN earlier this month because of a disagreement regarding his role in the network’s “College GameDay” lineup. He said Wednesday he can’t talk about the situation because of pending litigation. But he spoke enthusiastically and optimistically about his future, saying he’s keeping an open mind and considering various options.
He doesn’t envision resuming work as a college football analyst for another network.
“My opportunities in broadcasting have probably been destroyed by ESPN,” said Alberts, a native of Cedar Falls, Iowa, who now lives in suburban Atlanta. “More than likely, I’ll be making a lifestyle and professional change, which I suppose isn’t always bad.
“My wife and I have been praying a lot and looking for direction.”
Alberts, the fifth overall pick in the 1994 NFL Draft by the Indianapolis Colts, ended his playing career in 1996. He then worked for five years as a football analyst for CNN. He was in his fourth season at ESPN.
With his TV days apparently behind him, he said he’s become “intrigued” by potential opportunities in construction and real estate, among other possibilities.
<table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tbody><tr> <td align="center" bgcolor="" valign="top">
</td> </tr> </tbody> </table>He plans on spending time with his family — he and his wife have children ages 8, 5 and 2 — at Lake Keowee, near Clemson, S.C. He even plans to build a second home there in addition to his home in Atlanta, he said.
Alberts said his immediate plans include a weeklong trip to the Ohio University campus, where former Nebraska head coach Frank Solich is in his first season of leading the Bobcats. Alberts said he will immerse himself in the coaching staff’s preparations for next week’s game at Bowling Green.
“I’m going to get the full experience,” Alberts said.
Alberts said he isn’t necessarily interested in becoming a coach, especially at the NCAA Division I-A level. He said the “landscape of the college game” has changed since his playing days, and it’s made him less interested in college coaching.
“You get three years, a ton of money, and if you don’t get the job done, you’re fired,” he said. “You’re basically dependent on others. You can’t always control your own destiny.”
Alberts in 1993 became Nebraska’s first Butkus Award winner as the nation’s top linebacker. He said he has received several phone calls of support, including from former Nebraska head coach Tom Osborne, as well as members of the current Husker administration.
Although Alberts was vocal about his support of Solich’s firing at Nebraska following the 2003 season — and remains supportive of the decision — Alberts said Solich was the first to call him after Alberts’ firing from ESPN.
“One of the most humbling things that occurred — and helped me get started down the right path — was the phone call from Coach Solich,” Alberts said. “He wasn’t offering me anything. He just said, ‘Hey, you’re going to be OK.’ ”
Throughout his life, Alberts said, people have tried to tell him he couldn’t do this or couldn’t do that.
“Now, whatever the Lord leads me to do, someone probably will say, ‘He can’t do that, it won’t work,’” Alberts said. “But I’ll tell you, I love challenges, and I see this time as a challenge. It’s a great time to refocus.”
Edit: If someone finds the original Trev thread, I will merge. My search skills suck today.

Here's my favorite line of the article:
"With his TV days apparently behind him, he said he’s become “intrigued” by potential opportunities in construction and real estate, among other possibilities."

Wanna make $14 the hard way?
Funny thing is that he left becasue he didn't want to play second fiddle to Corso and Herbie. Think if either of those 2 were available, they might be able to find another job within broadcasting?
Maybe there's a reason you were second fiddle Trev......

Hmmm, Trev's going to make a 'lifestyle change'?
Homo.
Actually, that Husker site quotes him as being on his way here to Ohio to spend a week with Solich ... 25 bpCash that OU has a new linebackers coach!

He's changing his name to Oliver and will be blowing cross country truckers in rest stops and gas stations throughout the southeast.
The lovely little spot in SC he and the old lady have picked out for a "second home" will probably make Donny Jr his neighbor after they forclose his "first home" in suburban Atlanta.
